Whether you’re looking at remote control cars as a way to get young enthusiasts hooked on the car life, or to just have a little fun yourself, there’s a range of RC vehicles wide enough to satisfy nearly any interest. Here are three cool vehicles, and one bonus without wheels that was too cool, and too cute, to not include.
BB-8 – Smartphone-Controlled Droid
Fans of “Star Wars” will love the new app-enabled BB-8 droid from Sphero. The 11.4-cm-tall droid offers inductive charging, gyroscopic propulsion, an hour of battery life, and Bluetooth connectivity. BB-8’s top speed: 4.5 mph.
Sphero BB-8
$150
Axial Racing Trophy Truck
The Yeti Trophy Truck is ideal for those wanting something a little different than a basic RC car. It features a live rear axle, BFGoodrich tires, a water-resistant brushless motor, adjustable aluminum shocks, Method 105 replica wheels, an independent front suspension, and more for that authentic look and performance.
Yeti SCOR Trophy Truck
$450
Team Associated RC F
The RC F from Team Associated starred alongside the real-deal Lexus RC 350 in a Super Bowl spot last year. This thing has a high-performance brushless motor, too, which is much faster than the cars we got as kids at Christmas. Opting for the higher-priced.
APEX Lexus RC F
$300
Tamiya Big Rig
Tamiya’s Grand Hauler is a 1/14 -scale remote-control big rig that features a level of detail rarely found in the RC world. It also has an honest-to-goodness three-speed transmission. Legit. The rig can also be optioned with a controller that plays realistic sounds and controls lights and myriad other accessories such as a range of detailed trailers.
